The bravery of those women bolstered me in my darkest hours of interrogation and torture by the Chinese Police, and it guides me now to share my true story-no matter the repercussions. From villages in Nepal, to refugee camps in The Democratic Republic of Congo, to the streets of Bogota, Colombia, my initiation into human rights activism was raw and transformative. When I was arrested by the Chinese military for launching a historic Tibetan Freedom protest, I knew every trial and lesson had been worth it - even if it meant facing a life in prison.Īfter a childhood infused with esoteric Buddhist teachings, I was forged into a global activist through years of witnessing and collaborating in the dissent of women on the front lines of war.
From inside an interrogation session with the Chinese Secret Police, a young American activist recounts her path into global human rights work - exploring critical lessons on privilege and compassion in the context of war and extreme suffering.
